Default Apparently Fireball found Vtec @ Cecil (added vids)

Just got off the phone with Brian doing some mid week testing for friday night. Change the ECU settings and now the car just acts totally different. Loaded a 5.30 tuneup in the BS3/AMS-1000 that has gone down the track more than once very consistent to get a baseline for tonight. Leaves HARD and absolutely IGNITES the tires 40' out. He said it has never spun that hard and considering the track is very tight we may be onto something......

run two...soft tune up...5.30 @ 146.5...thats nearly a 5mph gain in the 1/8

car layed over due to fueling issues on the big end and I legged it through to a 8.10 @ 179 (1.40 60')

run 3...2 more psi at launch...1.336 60' but hit a new part of the fuel table its never been to before and it went richer than BS3 can report (at least 9.1:1) and rich backfired. 5.31 @ 143.6
